Every lesson is a widening and deepening of consciousness. It is a stretching of the mind beyond its conceptual limits and a stretching of the heart beyond its emotional boundaries. It is a bringing of unconscious material into consciousness, a healing of past wounds, and a discovery of new faith and trust.

A book is a gift you can open again and again.

Garrison Keillor

You become a better writer by writing. You become a better travel writer by writing about travel.

Tim Cahill

Nothing in life gives a man so much courage as the attainment or renewal of the conviction that other people regard him with favor; because it means that everyone joins to give him help and protection, which is an infinitely stronger bulwark against the ills of life than anything he can do himself.

Arthur Schopenhauer, Position, I

While the wider global environment is worrying, we are seeing some positive results in our economic affairs.

Michael D. Higgins

Whenever he was in company he wanted to get away, and whenever he was alone he wanted company.

J.K. Rowling

Few enterprises of great labor or hazard would be undertaken if we had not the power of magnifying the advantages we expect from them.

Samuel Johnson

The principle that certain sins should not receive the Church's testimony of forgiveness was probably no novelty at all, but had been applied in various churches perhaps, however, with no strict consistency.

Robert Rainy

If justice is removed... the great, the immense fabric of human society...must in a moment crumble into atoms.

Adam Smith

The crazy thing about the dab is like - dance moves, once you create them, they last forever.

I knew a girl that was so ugly that... I took her to the top of the Empire State building and planes started to attack her.

Rodney Dangerfield

There is nothing like suspense and anxiety for barricading a human's mind against the Enemy. He wants men to be concerned with what they do; our business is to keep them thinking about what will happen to them.

C.S. Lewis

'Aladdin' was probably my favorite Disney animation when I was a kid. The animation was great and Robin Williams was unbelievable as the Genie. 'Aladdin' was an amazing adventure and the lead character was a hero for guys, which I loved. It wasn't a princess or a girl beating the odds it was a street rat. That seemed really cool to me.
